Get ready for St. Patty’s Day with some rowdy, good-natured Irish tunes from Gaelic Storm, a multi-national, Celtic juggernaut that grows stronger with each live performance — and after two decades and over 2,000 shows, they are a true force to be reckoned with. Gaelic Storm kicked off its’ career as a pub band in Santa Monica. One performance led to their discovery that ultimately found the band appearing in the blockbuster film, “Titanic.” Since then, they’ve gained a reputation as a genre-bending Irish rock band whose songs mix Celtic traditions with something uniquely creative. Tickets are $58-$78. grandtheater.org
